steering rack gaiter
daft question probably but cant find for the life of me
where the steering rack goes through each inner wing it seem like there could be a gaiter or rubber? anyone know what this is called??
seems like every nova bay Ive seen don't have it though......
You on about something to clip in all the holes etc?
I've seen something like that, but only in pictures/parts diagrams. It's like a rubber mudflap that shields the engine bay from dirt where the steering arm comes out.
I imagine it's for dusty or different climates to ours though.
I imagine it'll be nigh on impossible to find one, so it'll be a case of making something if you want something there.
yeh that's the one that I am on about, it would make sense to have one fitted even just to prevent less water and spray going in
Having used my Nova in anger in all weathers for the last number of years, I can honestly say I don't think it's necessary. However if you'd prefer it then get some mudflap material and make something.
I know I've seen it fitted on another Vauxhall, perhaps an Astra? But I can't recall ever seeing them fitted to a Nova. I guess its something they put in the shell design then decided not to fit the rubber flaps to save money, it might have only been a few pence saving but back when they first came out you were lucky to get a radio, clock and both wing mirrors!
I have seen some made out of 4mm mudflap material on rally cars but tbh they would look shite on anything else
Proper pointless.I use mine on mud ovals and iv never thought it would benefit.Aslong as your boots are tight and complete nothing will get in or out.
